Thanks for the nomination @paradise-found!
I've been meaning to do this one for a while now, but never got around to it until today. It was actually eleven long days ago that @paradise-found nominated me to participate in this one. Thanks for being patient!
MY FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE
Seriously, asking someone for their favorite Bible verse in my opinion is like looking our over a vast field of marvelous flowers and asking someone which one they like best. With so many powerful, true, and inspiring verses to choose from, where does one even begin?
Over my walk with the Lord these past eleven years, a lot of things in my life have changed, and changed again. Certain verses really stick out and mean a lot at various times, and even the ones that don't can still be incredibly applicable. At the moment though, my life is on a certain path. I'm trying to shed a lot of the mental strongholds that society and culture saturate us with. I'm trying to avoid whatever presuppositions that I can and just look at things from God's point of view. This transitional state that I'm in has lasted for years already, and we've got a ways to go. It has required us to give up a lot, but we've gained so much more. In this current journey, the following verse (half really) has meant a lot to me.
"For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8b)
This is applicable on so many levels, and has given me great hope as we persevere and press on. A lot of my life seems to be theory sometimes, but I'm going to trust what God says and stick with that!

This is one of my favorite verses in the Word of God. As the apostle Paul His grace should be sufficient, in our weakness (poverty, disease, etc) the power of God becomes visible, either to get us out of this problem or because he makes us capable of resisting, without ceasing to praise his name. Only his grace is sufficient.
2 Corinthians 12: 9 King James Version 1960 (RVR 1960)
9 and he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that it rests on the power of Christ.

I love this verse! Like you said, there are so many, even all of the Bible is great. I may do the challenge later, but my favorite is 2 Cor 5:17 , but also all the way to verse 21.
All because God changed my life so much that, thank God, I am not the man I used to be.
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, the old has passed away and the new has come. And all things are of God.” Verse 21 “He made Him (Jesus) to be sin, Who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him!
My family, and the whole world is better off without the person I used to be. And the Good News, He is still working on me!

saturation is an unfavorable trait in living a life, preferably this nature is kept away so as not to make someone carried away to the negative

I do hear my late father say that Bible is synonymous to our daily activities, I guess we can't neglect the efficacy of each verses no matter how we cherish some over the other. Thank you for joining finally @papa-pepper lol.

Wow, @papa-pepper, you never struck me as a religious man, but then how would I have known, I must confess that this particular bible verse also inspires, motivates and gives me hope that no matter the raging battles from the enemy, that the Son has already been manifesto destroy the works of the devil and not just that, also make a public show of them.
Thanks for sharing and for nominating all of us.

I hope it's not yet too late to express how thankful I am for your support @papa-pepper! I've been through some struggles these past few days and haven't been online for too long.
1 John 3:8b is a powerful verse which reminds us of God's love and purpose of giving us His Son. Indeed, works of the devil are being destroyed and I'm praying and hoping that all of us here on earth will continue to possess God's love and attain peace wherever we are. May God bless you more and your family, @papa-pepper! <3
